Mary Kay Letourneau, teacher who raped and later married a student, dead at 58
Mary Kay Letourneau the former Washington state teacher who became infamous for her sexual relationship with a 12-year-old student she later married has died of colon cancer. She was 58.
Attorney David Gehrke, who represented her in the case that shocked America, said Letourneau had been battling Stage 4 cancer.
It was expected but sad anyway, he told KOMO-TV. She was a good person.
In the summer of 1996, Letourneau was a 34-year-old married mother of four when her
relationship with sixth-grader Vili Fualaau turned sexual.
At about 1:20 a.m. June 19, 1996, police discovered them in a minivan parked in the suburban Seattle city of Des Moines Marina. Letourneau initially told officers the boy was 18, raising suspicions that something sexual was going on.
